Was this just an unusually vivid lucid dream… or some kind of symbolic/dream contact experience?

I just woke up from a really vivid and realistic dream and I can’t stop thinking about it. I’d love interpretations, especially from people into lucid dreaming, dream symbolism, spirituality, dream contact, etc.

The dream took place in my actual house (my childhood home, but also the home I still live in now). Everything looked exactly the same as real life. The lights were warm and low. It was very cozy, quiet and calm. It had been raining all day and in the dream it was Thursday night and I had just come home late from work. I had gone into the kitchen quietly to make something to eat before going to bed.

My “grandmother” was already sitting casually at the table next to me just hanging out and keeping me company. The weird thing is she didn’t actually look like either of my real grandmothers (both have passed away), but in the dream I somehow just knew she was my grandmother in this reality. She was chill and casual. She was even sitting in the exact chair my father always sits in at the table.

Then suddenly, right in front of me on the wall above the kitchen table, communication somehow started appearing.
Not through a phone. Not through texting. Actual paper notes would suddenly appear on the wall and me and a guy I had a complicated almost-romance with over the last year started communicating through them.

For context: there had been months of back-and-forth, cat-and-mouse energy between us. We never actually met in person even though we were supposed to at some point. Things ended kinda badly and weird because of what was probably a misunderstanding mixed with too much ego on both sides, and one day he suddenly deleted me from everywhere. Since then we’ve been completely no contact and the atmosphere between us has felt strange ever since. Also he appears frequently in my dreams ands sometimes he talks to me, since then. Before we stopped talking I never dreamed or thinking too much about him to be honest. Now he appears somehow, even in real life. But we haven’t met in person.

In the dream though, the communication felt natural and mutual. We would literally write messages back and forth on these papers that appeared on the wall. I would take them down, write replies, stick them back onto the wall and wait for his response to appear. I was fully aware and conscious the entire time. I was thinking about what to answer, what to write, where I was walking, what I was feeling, etc. I had full control over everything. Nothing felt chaotic or random.

At one point he suddenly sent me a neon blue/pink Pet Shop Boys poster. Important detail: I do NOT listen to Pet Shop Boys at all. I barely even know their music besides the name. But in the dream I knew he specifically sent me that poster with a message. The second I took the poster off the wall and held it in my hands, one of their songs suddenly started playing from it. I still can’t remember exactly which song it was, but it had that dreamy melancholic synth-pop vibe. It may have been “Always on My Mind” or “Domino Dancing”. I searched now their songs. I genuinely don’t know because I never listen to them. Also I searched on google their wallpapers let’s say, and one I found looks almost exactly the same as the one I was holding in the dream. I’ve never seen this poster before. Same neon purple and blue colors and their name.

Later another paper/message appeared where he asked if we could go on that date. I asked him when he wanted us to meet and the paper simply answered: “Saturday?” We were physically writing to each other with pens on the papers, in our own handwriting. When I took that paper down to read it, “I Wanna Be Yours” by Arctic Monkeys suddenly started playing. Again: I haven’t listened to this song for many years. The entire time it felt like we were actually messaging each other this way. He was very calm, warm, playful, apologetic. At one point he sent me a voice note through one of the papers because I could actually hear his voice.

At one point while all this was happening, I casually admitted to my grandmother that I get anxious about going on a date because in real life I obsess over my health issues sometimes. And she basically answered casually like, “You can’t keep thinking like that. You need to live your life and go on the date.” Then suddenly she stood up and urgently said she needed to pee. She opened the door, lifted up her yellow nightgown/dress and ran outside toward the balcony in a rush, which was such a bizarre but weirdly realistic detail.

Later my father suddenly came inside and said that the rain had started again and he was holding a cigarette, which shocked me because in real life he quit smoking like 30 something years ago and hates cigarettes. He looked younger too. Right around that moment a mouse ran into the house and hid behind the fridge, and I think my father said it have stolen a key from the key holder. The whole dream felt extremely coherent and realistic. Not scary at all. Just weirdly intimate, symbolic and almost more like an experience and communicating with someone, than a regular dream.

What do you think something like this could mean? Does it sound like a normal vivid/lucid dream, symbolism, some
kind of communication or message… or something else? Has anyone experienced dreams that felt this emotionally coherent and mutual before? I’m genuinely open to both logical and completely “woo woo” interpretations because experiences like this fascinate me and I do believe there are things about dreams/connections/subconscious states we still don’t fully understand.
